Bread takes on the gourmet feel
The Loaf
A lifestyle bakery/bistro, The Loaf is very famous because it is co-owned by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Its first main outlet was opened in 2006 at the picturesque setting of Telaga Harbour, Langkawi, and has since added four more outlets, one each at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Empire Shopping Gallery (Subang Jaya), IOI Boulevard (Puchong) and Bangsar Village 2. Nonetheless, the making of the bread and pastry products is still mainly in the hands of award-winning Grand Chef Yukichi Matsubara from Japan.
When visiting Langkawi, be sure to drop by The Loaf for breakfast to have some of their freshly-baked croissants. With the delicious aroma of butter lingering through the place, it can be a therapeutic experience for the soul as well.
“Some of our special ingredients include flour imported from Japan and butter from Belgium. We also use several baking techniques, including the Louvain Method with natural yeasts obtained from dry raisins and fresh lemons,” says Matsubara, who has written a book titled The Latest Style of Boulanger Desserts – Unity of Bread and Dessert.
“Making a croissant, for example, is a long and tedious process. But we make sure we have the best ingredients to start with,” he adds.
The Loaf’s bestsellers (available at all outlets) include croissants, hard breads such as Campagne Fromage and Magazine, sweet breads like Cranberry Cheese and Red Bean Walnut, and the Chicken Onion Loaf.
The Loaf also has something that no other bakery has, the Cube 60°. This is their signature brewed coffee comprising espresso frozen to -60°C. The frozen coffee will slowly dissolve as warm milk is poured over it, resulting in a rich and velvety beverage.
AL : A must visit place for bread lovers.

Lighthouse by MsXeRoZ Nicole

| Pic by her friend. |
When i was little & innocent as it may be, one of my favourite book is The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton. To be frank, i have read all her (series) books, and i was deeply affected by her writings. Being born in Malaysia, we weren't exposed to the scenes that she wrote in the book.
Island, Mysteries, Sunken Treasures...There were times i wish those were true and i am a part of the adventures.
Until when i was in Langkawi, this is the first time i see a lighthouse.

Great picture of the lighthouse. Well, its located in Telaga Harbour on the way to the Cable Car

Menaiki ferry pertama jam 7.30 pagi dari Kuala Kedah. Kami menginap di CD hotel di Pantai Chenang selama 2 malam.
Cerita perjalanan Blogger Bintang Zohra ke Utara Malaysia. Langkawi termasuk dalam lawatan rakan kita. Tapi yg menariknya adalah melihat rakan kita merancang lawatan sehingga setiap pelusuk tempat boleh singgah. Ada tempat yg saya sendiri tak pernah sampai. Hm.. Menarik..

Properties In Langkawi
For me i always look at mudah.com.my. The link is here. The problem is most of the posting are in local Malay Language & its quite hard for some people. There even posted land for sale or rent. What i can say is the website is up to date & you might be dealing with the real owner not agents.
